I Can’t Remember What I Named Him But I Think It Had A Ü In It

“All great art comes from suffering,” incorrect, all great art comes from experience and emotion. You can get just as inspired by joy as you can by sorrow. Your mental and physical wellbeing may influence the tone of your work, but it’s not the sole factor determining the quality of your work. That’s just fucking stupid. Don’t stop yourself from healing because you think it’ll make you a worse artist.

I’ve drawn so many mice lately, get ready for the mouse takeover

This one has a bowtie :)

Eugene is in distress

See you all waited too long to draw frogman shirtless so I had to do it myself. And I went and made him trans. The Loveland Frogman is trans and slutty now forever, and it’s all because the rest of you didn’t draw his abs enough when you had the chance.

Really though I didn’t mean to make it this slutty. It just got away from me. He used to be totally shirtless, I thought adding the shirt would help, but it turns out it just made him sluttier.

There are not enough sexy drawings of cryptids. Where is the Loveland Frogman with abs? Where is the Fresno Nightcrawler as a nervous little twink? Where is mothman’s dick???

The Substitute’s song from puppet history is in the top ten villain songs of all time, and that is a hill I will die on

@wearewatcher I am begging y’all, please put the puppet history soundtrack on Spotify. There are so many certified bangers from that series.

Also I just googled the couch potato to 5k program I trained with when I was a kid and they don’t recommend the program for kids under 11 because it’s considered “too intense.” And I just found a picture from when I finished my first race in 2012 when I was 9 years old which is…. younger than 11.

So yeah maybe also don’t put your children on adult exercise regimens that are not designed for their tiny bodies lmao what the fuck

So fun fact when I was a kid my mom decided I wasn’t active enough. So she bought me absurdly expensive running shoes I did not ask for, dragged me out in the below freezing east coast weather, and started me on this “couch potato to 5k” challenge.

Every day after school, we ran. First it was 5 minutes a day, then 7, then 10… you get the gist. I think after 2 months we were running about an hour every day. By the time I quit running when I was 10, my mom and I had run 3 5ks together over the span of a little over a year.

A little after stopped running, I noticed some pain in my right knee. It got a little bit worse, and a little bit worse, and a little bit worse… and then five years later, when it had gotten to the point where I couldn’t pay attention in geography class because I was in constant pain from having to sit all day, I finally went to the doctor.

They told me the cartilage under my kneecap was worn down from overuse. It’s called chondromalacia patellae—also known as “runners knee.”

The thing is: When we were in races, and I was overwhelmed, I told my mom I wanted to stop. I told her I was in pain and I needed to slow down. I told her I didn’t like running.

And you know what she said to me?

“Suck it up.”

And I’m not saying “don’t tell your kids to exercise.” Your kids SHOULD exercise—not because of any bullshit weight reason or anything, but because they’re kids, and it’s good for them. Good for their bones, or whatever.

And I’m not saying “don’t exercise WITH your kids” either, because again, they should be exercising a little. And if you being there helps them stay motivated, that’s great.

What I am saying is: Listen to your kids. Trust that they know their own limits better than you do. Even if you think that they’re being over dramatic, or whiny, or whatever—don’t take the chance.

I’m 20 years old now. My knee still hurts. I have a whole suite of other, unrelated chronic conditions that would be improved if I exercised more. And I try to, I really do. But it’s kind of hard to do squats when just one makes your knee feel like it’s on fire for the rest of the week.

Listen. To. Your. Kids.

Hey tumblr why does this email make it seem like Ryan Gosling is fucking dead

Sketchessssss

Me: Yeah so I’ve been having horrible joint pain, muscle weakness, and fatigue for the past several years that’s worsened dramatically in the last 2 months.

Dr: Hmmm…. Fatigue, you say? Do you happen to have any…… mental health issues??

Me: …..I mean I have an anxiety disorder, but I really doubt that—

Dr: That’s the reason, that’s why you’re fatigued. It is your ✨mental illness✨

Me: Okay but I’ve had anxiety since I was a kid and the fatigue is a recent issue, so—

Dr: So sorry to hear about how ✨MENTALLY ILL✨ you are and how it is causing literally ALL of your health issues😢☹️

Me: But my anxiety is way better than it used to be, plus like I said I’m having joint pain as well I really don’t see how that could be caused by—

Dr:

✨💫Mentally Ill✨💫

The spirit is willing, but the flesh would like just a quick break please, just really quick, just like a five minute sabbatical
